It has been three months into 2022. To be honest, it hasn’t been easy. I have felt the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows. But I’ve gotten to reflect on myself and everything around me. I’ve learned that my life will never be a straight line, and that’s okay. There is always sunshine after the rain, always a rainbow after the storm. What is not mine will never be mine. What is mine will always present itself to me. I’ve learned to appreciate my loved ones much more. Maybe I am nowhere close to where I want to be, but I am exactly where I need to be. And for that, I’m grateful.
Maybe I’ll never heal from my traumas or get over my fears, maybe I will. But I will always continue to grow and become stronger as a person. I still have tons of work to do on my self-love journey. There will be many days where I may find myself craving for everyone’s attention and validation. I believe that it is human nature to want those things from other human beings. Though I hope that as I’m growing older, I can love myself enough that those feelings will eventually grow smaller.
As of today, I am still not 100% mentally stable, but I’m getting better, and that is all that matters.
I am exactly where I need to be.
